The Great
Bath History with a side of sabzi
The name kind of gives it away. The Great Bath is designed after one of the most recognisable sites from the Harappan Civilisation, which lasted from 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE. The décor includes replicas of the Dancing Girl figurine and the bust of the Priest King. No need to disrobe, for this is not a communal bath. The 200-capacity restaurant is al fresco and sits right in the middle of the courtyard of the 3102BCE resort in Vagator.
Ishaan Bhutoria, 26, who launched the place in April, studied hotel management at Les Roches, Switzerland, and was keen on the ancient-India theme. "We want guests to savour delicacies from the far corners of our age-old civilisation," he says. The menu covers Bihari, Bengali and Rajasthani favourites for now. He's hoping to develop and present rare preparations from these regions soon.
And where else would he do this but Goa, which hosts tourists from across India. "The appreciation from the sheer variety of people you get to receive is the best part of the state," he says.

Fit Check? Look Behind You
In gyms, someone is always filming. We are all in the frame without meaning to be. Is privacy at odds with fitness goals? Is consent even possible with all those mirrors?
